Timo Werner (£9.5m) is back in the Chelsea line-up following his midweek rest in the Champions League.

The former RB Leipzig forward is deployed on the left-hand side of the attack again, this time supporting Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) who found the net four times against Sevilla.

That sees Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) drop to the bench while Hakim Ziyech (£8.3m) provides width on the other flank.

Kai Havertz (£8.3m) and Mason Mount (£6.8m) are in central midfield with N’Golo Kanté (£4.9m) while the back-four lines up as we have come to expect on Chelsea’s recent run of three clean sheets in four.

Ben Chilwell (£6.2m) and Reece James (£5.2m) are the left and right full-back respectively, stationed either side of Kurt Zouma (£5.6m) and Thiago Silva (£5.5m).

Leeds are as we would expect them as well. Marcelo Bielsa has gone with a 4-1-4-1 formation once again with what looks like Stuart Dallas (£4.5m) in a central midfield role and Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) at left-back, considering wingers Jack Harrison (£5.5m) and Raphinha (£5.4m) are both in the starting line-up.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): E Mendy; Chilwell, T Silva, Zouma, R James; Mount, Kanté, Havertz; Werner, Giroud, Ziyech.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Alioski, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; Phillips; Harrison, Dallas, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

    Holding onto James through his non-appearances and price fall has been one of my better decisions.

    Moved Cancelo to to Stones to allow Rashford to Salah.

    0FT. 0ITB

    Mendy
    Robertson // Chilwell // Lewis
    Torres // Jota // KDB // Bruno // Salah (C)
    DCL // Adams

    4.0 // Brewster // Stones // Dunne

  3. Mr. O'Connell

    Werner on negative bps (probably)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      -5

  4. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I’m sure Werner is missing about 7 goals this season because of his finishing.

    1. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah many players would have had more goals if they were better

  5. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Werner, what's going on with this guy ... can he score?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      next GW

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Too late he's gone by then

  6. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This is painful 🙁
    Should have been celebrating a Werner hat-trick

  7. Londongeezaa
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Let’s be brutally honest here.

    The only Chelsea assets worth having are Chilwell and Zouma.

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have both but James has to be included.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      \0/

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      + James.

    4. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Reece James.

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      And James

    6. Londongeezaa
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn’t triple up so if I had to pick it would be those 2.

      Of course Reece is a great pick also.

    7. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wrong. James.

  8. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Werner is single handedly ruining my season. And i brought him in for Calvert Lewin 5 weeks ago of all people... Hands up.

  9. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Giroud off for Tammy

  10. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    So, loads will do Ziyech ----> Jota.

    Am I overthinking by considering Pulisic?

    Guy was top of most peoples shopping list at the start of the season, he isn't suddenly a bad player.

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      hes just REALLY prone to injury.

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You’re getting the same kind of player. Statistically Mahrez and Jota make much pmore sense.

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Mahrez? Hmmmm

  11. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Gru off, Tammy on

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Werner should be out not Giroud

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      As an owner I want him off. The hope that kills you.

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      he needs a rest

  13. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Werner owners unlucky due to poor finishing, though he displayed plenty of that against Newcastle too.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Great goalkeeping to deny him

  14. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Chilwell. Do something man!!!!

    Ziyech + Chilwell owner. No James or Zouma of course!

  15. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Costly foul by James

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      🙁

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Was just thinking, just fall!

  16. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    have I missed some kind of trend or why are Chelsea supporters always squeak like some threatened cockatoo species??

  17. Steinburg FC

    Come on leeds!!!!!!

    1. Sim Simma

    ckeeky repost, any help appreciated 🙂

    which moves do you prefer (for free)

    a kane and foden to bamford and salah
    b kdb and foden to salah and jota (would struggle to get any city assets if I make that move, but with the west brom game just a few days after the manchester derby, will kdb even play?)

    thanks and gl

  20. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Robbo, Ziyech, Richarlison -> Dallas, Salah, Wilson

    Okay to take a hit for this...?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'm doing similar to get in Salah. Robbo, Chilwell, Ziyech, to Dallas, James, Salah. Don't want to be salah-less any longer.

    Why are fans making feminine sounds whenever one Leeds defender gets the ball?

    I need to free up some cash to bring in Salah for Ziyech...is Chilwell to James a decent option? I had him before then moved to chilwell due to more assured game time but to me he always looks dangerous.

  25. One Man
    • 9 Years

    Ziyeck out injured ?

    1. TorresMagic™

    4. Ode

      Will probably get his usual goal off the bench
